Conflict, Climate and Inequalities

This book offers a holistic framework for understanding the complex global transformations defining the current historical moment. Centred on three major themes, international relations, climate change, and inequality, it integrates insights from physics, complexity science, political economy, and development studies. The authors argue that the growing and seemingly unstoppable centralization of capital undermines national democracies, […]

Liberal Environmentalism and Climate Change in the Polycrisis

David Krogmann explores the persistence of liberal environmentalism in international climate policy, despite the growing climate crisis and the broader polycrisis in international relations. He argues that the deep institutionalization of norms linking economic growth with environmental protection creates a mismatch between the crisis and political responses. Drawing on liberal institutionalism, constructivism, and neo-realism, Krogmann

Wicked Problems: The Book

The authors examine why the world’s most urgent problems remain unsolved, emphasizing their interconnected and self-perpetuating nature. Drawing on theories of systemic failure and cumulative causation, they show how global issues interlock in degenerative cycles that cannot be addressed in isolation. By mapping 162 global issues into seven overarching categories, the “Wicked 7,” they identify

Global Interconnectedness of Risks: A Worldwide Analysis

The author explores the interconnected global risk landscape, where various risks amplify one another, potentially causing cascading effects across regions and sectors. She examines the global relationship between different types of risks and analyzes the significance of the coefficients derived from collected time panel data. Key findings include the positive correlation between net user growth

Navigating Systemic Risks in Low-Carbon Energy Transitions in an Era of Global Polycrisis

The authors discuss factors influencing the stability and resilience of low-carbon energy transitions over extended time-frames, emphasising that while these transitions are essential for global sustainability, they are also vulnerable to systemic risks that could exacerbate the polycrisis. They highlight the importance of long-term strategic planning, interdisciplinary research, and inclusive decision-making to ensure that successful

Confronting the interconnection of chemical pollution and climate change

The authors examine the interconnected challenges of climate change, chemical pollution, and biodiversity loss, emphasizing that climate mitigation often overlooks chemicals and materials. As most chemicals come from petrochemicals, reducing fossil fuel use requires shifting to alternative carbon sources, but this alone may worsen biodiversity loss. They propose a comprehensive strategy to address the interconnections

Examining the Effective Role of Artificial Intelligence in the Interconnected Crisis of Climate Change and Human Migration

The authors examine the link between climate change and migration, using data mining to identify key environmental and socioeconomic drivers. Findings show that water scarcity and prolonged droughts are major factors behind displacement, with predictive models accurately forecasting migration flows. The study highlights the need for data-driven policies and proactive climate adaptation, urging future research
